Description

All the King's Men (Columbia, 1949). Insert (14" X 36").
Inspired by the life and career of notorious Louisiana governor
Huey "Kingfish" Long, and based on Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer
Prize-winning novel, this hard-hitting movie casts Broderick
Crawford as Willie Stark, an ambitious and popular country lawyer
who makes it all the way to the governor's mansion. Once there,
however, his true character comes through, as he has an affair with
his campaign manager (Mercedes McCambridge) and creates a despotic
police force in order to protect his regime. A thought-provoking
picture, it won three Oscars: Best Picture, Best Actor (Crawford),
and Best Supporting Actress (McCambridge), and remains an incisive
examination of the abuse of political power. This exceptional
insert has undergone professional restoration to replace a small
missing bottom left corner. The work is impeccable, returning this
insert to a like-new appearance. Fine/Very Fine on Paper.
